being a tranny matches up with the definition of a mental illness it always was listed on the dsm its been taken off it even though it still matches with other beliefs that go against evolutionary biology it was taken off it for political reasons rather than medical ones ive never seen any decent argument to say why being trans is empirically different enough from mental issues such as body dysmorphia cotard delusion believing you are dead or from makebelieve concepts such as kintypes to place it outside of a mental health issue if people want to treat their mental health issue by changing their gender expression thats cool but why are we whitewashing mental health issues just because they are trendy
